Albrecht Dürer - The Revelation of St John:14 - The Whore of Baylon

Original
Albrecht Dürer - The Revelation of St John:14 -  The Whore of Baylon. This image is one of a series of woodblocks made by the German artist Albrecht Dürer in the late fifteenth century during the height of the so-called war on witches conducted by the Christian Church against the people of Europe. In this scene, the woman or whore of Babylon rides a seven-headed dragon, leaving a trail of destruction behind her, including (on the right) a riverside city in flames.
